Dec. 1st, 2025 Weekly Newsletter

All Members,

The Queen of Hearts should be back up on the 7th of December. Just have to finalize a detail at the general membership meeting.

We are a Toys For Tots drop off location again this year. Bring a new unwrapped toy to the lounge and make a underprivaged child’s XMas. Cut off is Dec. 5th 2025. The Riders and Aux. unit are sponsoring the Toys 4 Tots this year.

We also have the Angel Tree slips in the lounge. Please think about the older members of our community during the holiday season.

Cathy broke her shoulder, so Pat Drury has stated she is willing to do Tacos and Wings for the month of December. After that, we may not be doing them.

Cornhole and Euchre is also suspended during the month of December.

January 10th, 2026 from 5pm til 9pm, there is a funraiser for the post’s Honor Guard. Tickets are 1 for $13 or 2 tickets for $25.

January 17th, 2026 There is a planned diner being put on by the VetFest Committee. More details to follow.

Remember when you show up in the Lounge, to be proud to show your membership card. Also if you have not renewed your membership, please do so. Legionaires dues go up to $50 on Jan. 1st 2026.

The post has upgraded to a new access system. This system requires a new card that is electronically read and unlocks the door during business hours. To get your card, please stop by the lounge and write your name (please print) on the green card and turn it into the bartender. The adjutant will process the new card for you the next day. There is no cost for this new card, but if you lose the card, there will be a $5 replacement cost. If you have already done this, please stop by and pick up your card from the bartender.
